Education & Training

 Everyone can remember a teacher that had a big impact on their life or career, and a great teacher can make the difference between a student loving or loathing a subject. Working as a teacher means accompanying people through an educational process that can sometimes be frustrating and draining, so besides being an expert in the subject matter, teachers need to be great communicators as well as patient. A job as a teacher also provides many opportunities to move up in your career. 

 In the most general terms, learning and development specialists are entrusted with setting training priorities for a company or institution based on an analysis of the strategies and requirements of different departments. On a more human level, L&D specialists will seek to foster a culture of learning and a learning-oriented mindset throughout the organisation. Forging strong relationships with the workforce and management is a must for L&D specialists! 

 Providing a more personalised service than a teacher, tutors are entrusted with perfecting the knowledge students have gained in other classes. Tutors can work 1-on-1 or with small groups to reinforce weaker areas or prepare students for specific assessments, and will build long-lasting bonds. Knowing how to provide effective feedback, communicating concepts in a variety of ways, and instilling a growth mindset in pupils are essential skills in a tutoring career. 

 Working as a careers advisor means guiding people towards making sensible and achievable career choices, so that they can reach their full potential. A careers advisor can work at an educational institution or as part of a specialised private company, and will come into contact with clients of al ages and backgrounds. Excellent analytical abilities and an in-depth knowledge of employment markets and opportunities are vital skills for anyone working as a careers advisor.
